Stinky situation: "I'm seeing red right now, calling the Red Phone. I just read 'Potential for stinky traffic snarl' (July 28). I live off of Thomas Road and now I read the paper and they're going to leave the light green at Santa Teresa longer so traffic can keep flowing. Well I want to know what the hell those of us that live out in this pocket here off of Thomas and Santa Teresa are supposed to do for three days. They used to provide permits for us as neighbors, so we could get out and move and do our business and whatever we need to do for the three days. But now they do nothing for us. I'm really upset by this article because they don't even give a darn about us and we're within walking distance and the potential for what we could contribute ... I'm just really angry and wanted to call. I don't know if you'll put it in the paper, but I just had to let off steam because I'm seeing red right now."
